True, but this does not change the fact that PB and ES are extremely good at low lvl.
Yopu don’t care about lifespan since you can get a better one long before it expires.
The attack nerf is unsignificant.

Try mining.
I suppose your main problem is \*\*\*\*ty equipment at the moment. Mining solves that problem.
You can even start with what you have and use looted armor for faster mining and so on.
Once you loot collector’s pendant, use it to get desired items.
There’s a good mining guide by Ordian, check it.

> - To-be-Nerfed gems are useful. Throw them in and you have chances to get keys for this and other dungeons/raid. Of note, is that the Spooky Crypt key is only accessible this way; you only need to find it once though.
Is getting keys the only purpose/use of To-Be-Nerfed gems? Does throwing them actually nerf anything?

Yes. The number that decreases in the third box is the amount until your chances at the top level prizes gets nerfed.
EDIT: You can’t nerf chances for “all prizes”, unless there’s going to be a chance you get nothing. And I haven’t seen nothing.
